The play on the words holland and low-\ncountries is apparent. The Prince proceeds to as\nsume that Poins's shortage in shirts is due to the fact\nthat his old shirts are serving as garments for his\nillegitimate children, who 'bawl out' from 'the ruinsof his linen/\nII. ii. 95-100. Either Shakespeare or the Page\nconfuses the dream of Hecuba with that of Althea.\nAlthea dreamed that the Fates told her that her new\nborn son would live only so long as a burning brand\non the hearth remained unconsumed. Althea snatched\nthe brand from the hearth, extinguished the fire, and\nprolonged her son's life.\nII. ii. 112. martlemas. Corrupted form of Mar\ntinmas, or the Feast of St. Martin, November 11.\nThis day was considered the last day of autumn,\nand was also the day for salting and hanging the\nwinter's supply of beef. The reference is obviously\nto Falstaff's hearty old age (cf. All-hallown sum\nmer, 1 Henry IV, I. ii. 177, note), or to Falstaff as a\n'martlemas beef.'\nII. ii. 127, 128. borrower's cap. A man asking\nfor a loan is always very ready to take off his cap.\nII. ii. 130 ff. Most modern editors have rear\nranged the following speeches, giving to Poins the\nreading of Falstaff's letter to Hal. The Quarto and\nFolio arrangement, followed with one exception (cf.\nAppendix C) in this text, seems more natural. In\nlines 109, 110 Bardolph evidently gives the letter to\nthe Prince, not to Poins. In line 119 the Prince shows\nthe letter to Poins, but does not necessarily give it to\nhim.\nII. ii. 192, 193. The parallel is not striking. Jove\ntook the form of a bull to woo Europa. Hal dis\nguises himself as a waiter to spy upon Falstaff. The\nleather jerkins are the only connecting link.","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-30T20:54:40.396Z","text_extracted_by":"pdf-processor","text_has_content":true,"text_source":"born_digital","uploaded":true,"width":1118},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG89K4MQB10V83VB7VGQ9V7D","predicate":"derived_from"},{"peer":"01KG89JREDR8WY5QQGYR5FZRDY","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG8AZHX3MPPABP966CA8E74V","predicate":"prev"},{"peer":"01KG8AZJH77F6W787XJTFYY8YQ","predicate":"next"}],"ver":3,"created_at":"2026-01-30T20:54:41.940Z","ts":"2026-01-30T21:12:46.918Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFFH6ETXGRVD10WPNP3007D6"}}
